Which statement summarizes the law of segregation

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: The statement which  summarizes the law of segregation is as follows :  

During the process of gamete formation, two different forms of a gene ( also called allele) segregate from one another in a random manner and each gamete thus formed, receives one copy of gene.

This is called the law of segregation. It was proposed by Gregor Mendel.  

For example- The gene for plant height in pea exists in two forms which are T ( dominant allele- represents tall height ) and t ( recessive allele- represents dwarf height ). If a plant is heterozygous ( having different alleles Tt), it will give two different gametes ( T and t ) during gametogenesis.  

These alleles are segregated in accordance with the law of segregation.



       

Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

The Law of Segregation states that paired genes separate evenly into gametes during meiosis, giving offspring equal chances of inheriting either gene. This observation, derived from experiments with pea plants, is the basis for predicting offspring traits using a Punnett square. The mechanism enforcing this law is the first division of meiosis, though this was not understood during Mendel's lifetime.

Explanation:

The Law of Segregation, proposed by Gregor Mendel, states that paired genes (unit factors) separate or segregate equally into gametes (eggs or sperm) during meiosis. This means that offspring have equal chances of inheriting either gene from their parents. Observations from experiments with true-breeding pea plants led to this law. For instance, the F1 generation expressed the dominant trait while the F2 generation exhibited both dominant and recessive traits in a 3:1 ratio. This segregation of alleles is what allows for accurate predictions of offspring traits using a Punnett square.

Gametes receive one allele from each parent, resulting in three possible combinations for the F2 generation from a monohybrid cross: homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive. Heterozygotes can result from two pathways, receiving one dominant and one recessive allele from either parent, which alongside homozygous dominant individuals, are phenotypically identical, hence supporting Mendel's observed 3:1 phenotypic ratio.

The physical basis of the law of segregation is the first division of meiosis where homologous chromosomes bearing different versions of each gene segregate into daughter nuclei. This underlining mechanism, however, was not understood by the scientific community during Mendel's lifetime.

Which of the following is not a good polling technique? A. asking clear questions B. using a push poll C. using a large sample D. using a random sample

Answers

Question is which is NOT a good technique.
Answer is "B" and here's why:

A) Clear questions -- good. People understanding the question will answer accurately.
C) Large sample size -- good. Answers will be more accurate with more people asked (like if you flip a coin 1,000 times its going to be closer to 50% heads than if you only flipped it twice)
D) Random sample -- good. Avoids your own bias in choosing who to ask.

B) Push poll -- bad. Pretends to be unbiased, the pollster's real objective is to get a person thinking in a way that is to their advantage. Some political candidates do this just before elections.

Many of the terms related to fluid balance sound the same. Can you identify the proper terms for definitions and key information related to fluid and fluid imbalances? For each question, select the correct term or solute.

Answers

Answer:

Que.1

Standard IV solution used as a blood volume expander (0.9% NaCl is commonly used)

HYPERTONIC  ISOTONIC.

Answer- isotonic.

The  standard 0.9 % Nacl solution is isotonic.  A solution is isotonic if it is of  equal solute concentrations with the surrounding environment. Therefore, 0.9 % Nacl solution will not gain or lose fluid via osmosis across its wall.  Rather  its intravenous introduction will be at the same concentration with the  intracelluar fluid  leading to expansion  in volume.

Type of edema in the lower extremities

DEPENDENT INDEPENDENT.

Answer-Dependent

Accumulation of  blood   in body tissues (Oedema) usually  occurs due to  effect of gravity on the body. Gravitational force pulls body fluid towards the extremities and lower part of the body.Therefore fluids accumulates under the skin, trapped  in the veins of leg (especially from prolong standing), feet and hands.  It may also be as  a result of complication from medication, or pregnancy term is called Dependent Oedema. Because it is gravity-related Oedema.

Increases sodium and water retention by the kidneys

RENIN  ALDOSTERONE

Answer-Aldosterone

In condition of lower blood volume, lower salt level or increse blood pressure,one of the compensatory mechanism is the release of hormone Aldosterone from the pituitary gland,  under the influence adreno cortico tropic hormone  The Aldosterone  stimulate the walls of the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct to increase re-absorption of sodium ions, from the urine, sweat and gut back  into the blood. Water follow by osmosis. This raises the water level of the blood with corresponding increase blood volume, reduction in salt balance and drop in blood pressure.

This is  the main intracellular cations of the cell. It concentration is maintained by the activities  of sodium-potassium pump along cell membrane. These pump  made of channel  of protein  regulate the movement of potassium ions in and out of the cells. Its positive charge(together with that  some anions)  is responsible  for the   positive charges  in  the intracellular layer.

PITTING EDEMA /'THIRD SPACE ACCUMULATION.

Answer; third space.

The space between adjacent cells may be filled with fluids, that escape from the blood vessels into the interstitial space when there is too much water in the blood,.This fluid  space  is called the third Space. It has no appreciable function.

ALDOSTERONE NATRIURETIC PEPTIDES.

Answer. Natriuretic peptides

An increase in blood fluid  volume  usually correspond with the release of  Natriuretic peptides under the in influence of the pituitary gland and the heart in the body. These promotes the loss of  sodium ions by the kidney, with corresponding loss of water by osmosis.Therefore large volume of hypotonic urine containing excreted sodium is produced. This lowers the blood fluid volume,

DEHYDRATION EDEMA,

Answer.Oedema

The accumulation of fluid in the space between cells(interstitial space) is called oedema.it may be caused by damage to the kidney, liver, to the veins of the legs etc,This damages lead to poor drainage of the blood by the veins leading  to fluid retention.

Que

Occurs when application of pressure over a bony area leaves an indentation

PITTING EDEMA DEPENDENT EDEMA

Answer. Pitting Edema.

Mathematically, Pressure is equal to force over the area where the pressure was applied.(P=F/A). During   accumulation of fluids under  the skin due to oedema; if a pressure is applied on the fluid accumulated area, an indention due to the force  which  was applied will be left momentarily, and gradually disappear. this is called Pitting Oedema.

9. The action of insulin on sugar levels in the blood helps to interfere with homeostasis (2) maintain dynamic equilibrium (3) coordinate enzyme production (4) regulate digestion of protein

Answers

Insulin's action on blood sugar levels helps maintain a dynamic balance. Therefore, the correct option is B.

The pancreas secretes the hormone insulin, which is essential for controlling blood sugar levels. Insulin is released into the bloodstream when blood sugar levels rise, as they do after a meal. Insulin aids in the maintenance of dynamic equilibrium by encouraging the uptake of glucose from the blood into cells, where it can be used as an energy source or stored for later use.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
